He has a quite an interesting biography either. I can advise you the following book if anybody wants to read his biography:
Hervey Allen Israfel "The Life and Times of Edgar Allan Рое" (Rinehart and Company, inc. New York Toronto, 1949)

I love Edgar Allan Poe's books they are awesome, his style is very dark and gothic, and you can understand why his books are that way if you read his biography; I recomend you to read it because it's very interesting.

Hello, first I would just notice that the title of this topic is erroneous since Poe had never written novels, he's a short story writer, a poet and an essayist. personally speaking I like a lot his works they're full of imagination. I advice you his poem the Crow amazing.
